Agree with Mahratt regarding modern scabbard.

As for pattern, there are many similar mechanical damascus antique blades being etched to reveal the pattern. This one neither elaborate nor complex, but well done for its type and I'd consider it etch-worthy as well.

Also agree with Roland. Different collectors had different etching/polishing preference. The Wallace Collection, for instance, favored high gloss polish on all/most Islamic blades, even wootz, to adhere to established European-like taste of that time.
